Denver mayor backtracks comments about sending police officers to block Trump deportation efforts

Mayor Mike Johnston believes citizens will participate in "civil disobedience," and he is willing to go to jail to stop deportation efforts he believes are illegal.

If people are here illegally, they need to go, simple as that...

[tranmer]

Trump and Tom Homan are about to give this man a serious reality check.

[Deplor]

Put him in jail...obstruction of justice...

[flatbedhaulingwithscottn]

Denver should be embarrassed to have such a whining idiot like Mike Johnson!

[yannip]

Thanks to Trump for cleaning up the mess created by Johnston and Polis!

[crazyoilfieldmechanic]

Can't wait to see this guy and other radical Denverites up on Federal charges. The rule of law WILL STAND.

[tinadiesman]

Sir, you are an idiot. Putting non citizens above you own constitutes.

[michaelphipps]

Mike and Brandon are smoking the same shit.

[RkyMtnWay]

Translation: Johnston is planning an Insurrection in Denver.

So he will get High School students to protest! Hummm. Teaching them to disobey federal law at a young age? You dufus!

[KennethHorn-jcmf]

Who voted for clowns 🤡 like this mayor of Denver. It makes no sense to put someone like this person in power. UNBELIEVABLE.

[hbg]

Is he encouraging high school students to fight the police? 🤯🤯🤯

[williambowling]

The mayor is not too bright. The flower in the rifle barrel was during a Vietnam war protest in the late 60s while Tienanmen Square was in the 80s (with a man staring down a tank). And if he's going to oppose federal authority, he shouldn't be mayor and probably should be prosecuted.

[bryallen]

Trump needs to take him up on his offer about his lack of fear for jail.

[keithhobbs]

This 🤡 needs to go. Denver how dumb are you people that voted this goof into office!!!

[LUtz]

Omg he’s literally telling HIGH SCHOOLERS to act against the Federal Govt (ICE)! Wt? So irresponsible without context around how to safely peaceably protest in a school setting! Can he not see how this advice can go tragically wrong? Wt???

[WilliamBlinky]

How in hell did Mike Johnston convince people to vote for him and his policies?

[cebrith]

I used to visit Denver weekly. These days, I avoid it like the plague it is.

[anthonybush]

Cut all federal funding to Denver and Colorado.

[hoodvidz]

I live here and I want them gone. I can barely afford to feed my family and they are stealing our jobs. I am an electrician and I got laid off because they wanted to pay them penny’s and dimes . All of us are getting laid off.
